The bedroom is on the top floor of a three-story rowhouse which was built in 1899. It is located two short blocks from the subway, just a 15 minute ride to Wall Street. The house has lots of historic charm, and lots of modern updates like an updated kitchen and bathroom, hardwood floors throughout, and amenities like secure WiFi and hi-def cable TV.
Lastly, we have a centrally-monitored security system and the house is cleaned regularly by our housekeeper. We inspect every bed and room after each guest to ensure cleanliness, and all of our mattresses are protected by top quality mattress covers which are regularly maintained.

The room was just as advertised. It is bright, but small, as you can see in the pictures. But there is the living room, so enough space to relax. The other guests were really nice and I had an ok stay here. But this place was just not for me. Some examples why: The heater is sometimes making really loud noises during the night. It sounds like someone hammering against it. Since it is right next to the bed, I woke up from it a number of times (I have a light sleep). Also the whole place is in the middle of renovation, so it did not actually feel like a "home" to me. Might be really nice once it's all done. Since I had to go all the way to Grand Central everyday, my commute was about an hour, which I got sick off pretty fast. Alex was really understanding of my situation and helped me to shorten my stay in this room, so I was able to find a different place. Overall I can recommend this place to people who are not that much into cooking, like to meet people from around the world and have a really good sleep.

I really enjoyed staying at Alex's place! The apartment is pretty nice, and it's in an extremely convenient location. Everything's super close -- subway stops, grocery shops, restaurants, laundromats etc. Alex is a great host. He always responsed quickly to any questions I had, and was always willing to help out with anything I needed. Definitely recommend staying here!

Let's take this step by step:
Alex is a very friendly person when communicating through AirBnB before reservation. Very helpful, answered all my questions, all was great. He's generally responsive to his AirBnB mail within 36 hours at max.
A very important thing I must point out is that Alex is very responsive and takes action towards feedback. If you have a problem, speak up and you will be answered! This is GREAT.
Yet, I personally didn't meet Alex during the first 2 weeks of my stay.. still waiting. I would like to meet him, but it's not crucial as he serves the place efficiently without his presence.
Alex answered my call when I arrived at the airport and answered my questions, but he wasn't there when I got home.
The room was mostly as described and pictured. A decent backyard view with just enough sun shining in during most of the day. The mattress is slightly uncomfortable; I don't think it would suit a picky person.
The rest of the house has most of the functions you can ask for and quite adequately. Cleanliness is neither deficient nor "shiny".
There's a guy called Ugo who lives on the ground floor. He has lived and apparently will live for long. Very friendly guy :) Don't miss out on him.
The neighborhood is safe and well serviced by almost anything you can ask for except major shopping. Train stops are perfect, less than 5 minutes away are 2 train stops!
* There was no digital clock in the room, although I would have really appreciated it.
* I personally think this room a very efficient accommodation for short term stays, while the other rooms can be better for longer term stays.

Alex did everything to help and was easily reachable. You're free as if you're home though and that's def a plus, especially when you're used to having roomates. I stayed a month and got along very well with the others in the house and they also were helpful as i needed tips in nyc as well. The room is exactly as pictured, so just enough when you don't spend your whole days in and comfortable ( linens were changed every week). It really is 2 short blocks away from the Nostrand av subway station and 2more blocks away from presidents' station, so you can be in manhattan in as short as 25min. Oh and i cooked everyday, there's enough space for that. The bathrooms are also quite big. I'd recommend it again.

I had an wonderful stay the room was nice and clean a nice description on how to get there and Alex was really nice and ready to answer all my questions. I will definitely go back some day!

Alex is a great guy as everyone else who's stayed here would say! It's run like a very organized hostel. There were many people staying there, but I had privacy and assistance with anything when I needed something. I'd recommend this place to anyone!
